Simply Rails 2 Chptr 10 taggable plugin problem

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the acts_as_taggable_on_steroids plugin to work. I've downloaded from updated git site
installation seems to go OK but at the end, this message appears
...............
+ ........................
+ ./test/fixtures/taggings.yml
Plugin not found: [" URL /acts_as_taggable_on_steroids.git"]
(I haven't made 5 posts yet so no actual URL)
I've rolled back migration 6, deleted the plugin and removed acts_as_taggable code from story.rb and reinstalled with and without --force option but no joy.

when working in script/console
s = Story.find( :first) ............ returns data but
s.tag_list ........... gives a long error list ending in
shovell/vendor/plugins/acts_as_taggable_on_steroids.git/lib/acts_as_taggable.rb:17
I'm using rails 2.0.2
I'm at a bit of a loss now so any help etc

I downloaded using the svn URL
in the development console, this error was raised
>> s = Story.find( :first)
RuntimeError: acts_as_taggable_on_steroids has been moved to github:
.......... jviney/acts_as_taggable_on_steroids
from /home/roy/programming/rails_2/shovell/vendor/plugins/acts_as_taggable_on_steroids/lib/acts_as_taggable.rb:10:in `acts_as_taggable'
..........

I was able to rollback the migration, but I can't get acts_as_taggable_on_steroids to install from github. Due to the spam controls on this forum I apparently can't post website addresses. As such I've had to edit them out of the error messages below.

I have git installed, but get the following:
If I use the ruby script/plugin install command from the book corrections page
I get the following:
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
warning: Option "depth" is ignored for "github jviney" /acts_as_taggable_on_steriods.git
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref HEAD

If I change the 'http' to 'git' in the install command I get the following:
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Since publication of the book, the acts_as_taggable_on_steroids plugin has moved from using SVN to Git for version control. This means that the URL provided in the book will no longer work for installing the plugin.

To fix this, you first need to install Git, instructions for which can be found in this article.

Once you've installed Git, run this command to install the plugin (all on one line):
